Hello,
I'm not sure how Berkeley works cuz I've never auditioned there.  I'm not
sure what to advise.  I would say possibly first important step is to ask if
they provide an accompanist.  I say this because ya don't want to show up
thinking there will be one and their like who will be accompaning for you.
Do you read music Braille?  Do you know music Theory?  From what I've
noticed some schools make you take a Theory test, but again, I don't know
for Berkeley.  I guess overall I would say to contact them and just get a
sense of what their entrance Music exam is like.  I advise this cuz Berkeley
is one of the best music schools in the nation and recognized throughout the
World.  Also, when contacting them I think it would be a good idea to say to
them you are visually impaired/blind so the accomadations if any can be
made.
Hope all of this helps and I wish you great success, Justin Young
